Ready...get set...sew!

Here comes THAT word that some people dread hearing before December...CHRISTMAS! So sorry to say it out loud so early, but I have to start thinking about Christmas as soon as the children start the new school year in September! I always do a couple of craft fairs in the run up to the festive season, so a lot of sewing needs to be done, and thus a lot of creative Christmas thinking and planning too! Now, before I could even start thinking about tackling the mammoth task of sewing a gazillion new projects, I had to sort out the mess in my sewing corner from the spring's sewing flurry! And, while it's all tidy and somewhat organised, I thought I'd take a couple of snaps to share as part of our Home Tour. If you've missed any of the little peeks into our home sweet home before, you can take a look here, here and here!

My sewing corner...

Perfectly Peachy Pincushions...
(thank you Cath)

And a few jars turned into itty-bitty button storage with pincushion lids...a girl can NEVER have enough pins...and pincushions...

Florals and flowers...

 

 

 

Good old Bon Maman Jam Jars...

 

 



 



Here's a little project for the wall...an old wooden toiletries box turned display shelf...

First, I glued a little fabric to the back...

 

 

Add a few embellishments...metal photo corners...vintage sewing lovelies...

 

 

 



And voila!

 

 

 All sorted! Ready...get set...sew!

 

 

 

There is nothing nicer than planning a new sewing project at a lovely, tidy desk...once the sewing starts in full swing, it will be nigh impossible to keep it that way! So, I will sew, create mess, and look back at these pictures and enjoy the tidiness that lasted for five minutes! Happy days!
